Waxman: "you must do the oversight"

"Waxman explained that “you must ask the questions” and “you must do the oversight if we’re going to keep people honest, if we’re going to provide the checks and balances that our Constitution envisions.”

Does "ongoing investigation" involve first determining the scope of what could be found or involved. Would Waxman want to know first what he was going to get into before he opened up this "can of worms"?

Maybe he has allies who might be harmed. I thought lawyers were never supposed to ask questions for which they didn't already have the answers.
